Use of the word 'ALLAH' in Bible

[a107505]

There is a priest in a church in Malaysia...who appealed for the usage of the word 'ALLAH' in church, and in the Malay translation of the Holy Bible. But, muslim groups (malay muslim groups, Chinese Muslim community, Indian Muslim community althogether) voiced their chagrin of this priest, who tried equalling the One God which the three-pronged deity.

what do you guys think? The liberal non-muslims had tried before to liberalize islam (Article 11 incident). Now they want to disrupt our aqidah by re-naming the Trinity to ALLAH.

same thing happens in Indonesia....hmmm you may want to search more in the Internet...

The term ALLAH is not just for Muslims. This is used by Arab Christians also to address GOD. I don't see why we should stop them.

True- the hebrew word for God is Eloah or something similar to this and if you get a bible in arabic the word God will be read as Allah

Salaam,

There is no need to panic. We Muslims have the authentic words of Allah swt. Allah is a unique and beautiful name. This word will spread and inshallah make more people curious, thus turning them towards the direction of Islam.
